It's the end of the world as we know it...

I can still remember the first time I thought about the end of the world. And no it wasn't because of the movie Armageddon. (That's my father up there!) but because of the book Countdown to Armageddon by Hal Lindsey. It's mainly about the book of Revelations interpreted to fit the 80's fear of a global nuclear war. It was a terrifying read for a 10-year-old. I really thought the world would end.

That fear subsided over the years. I lived through several earthquakes, arguably the biggest volcanic eruption of the 20th century and countless typhoons and floods. This is the 3rd world baby, and we've been through worse and we see worse on a yearly basis.

That sounds pretty catchy huh? Well it seems things might get worse on a monthly basis. I just saw an Inconvenient Truth and it was just as terrifying as a nuclear war. Most of you have probably heard of it. It's Mr. Almost Pres. Al Gore warning about global warming.

We've all heard about the issue since grade school and it's still here. Like AIDS. It's even worse than AIDS because there are people who've seen the evidence, gone through ever increasing droughts and ever strengthening hurricances and rising sea levels and say, "Nothing to worry about. This is all part of a cycle."

Well if the cycle involves my country and many others going the way of Atlantis then we've got to start doing something.

The first thing to do is watch An Inconvenient Truth. If you're too cheap to get a legit copy, here's the torrent. Burn the movie and share it with everyone you know.
